Pops 4 on 0 Fullcourt Drill

We are big fans of having game-like drills. While I have nothing against a 3-man weave full-court I find it hard sometimes to recognize the translation to a competitive situation. It certainly works on fundamentals (Passsing/catching/running/teamwork etc) but we prefer drills that have more of a transfer of skills to game situations. In this 4 on 0 Drill (Click Here) we got from Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs we use a full-court passing drill that combines outlets, hit ahead passes and our fastbreak principles (run the wing wide, sprint to half and don't look back until you get there, look over your inside shoulder with your butt facing the sideline etc). Obviously the drill is simple but you can create your own modifications. For example on return trips we will have them come back into a 4-0 offensive breakdown sequence.

High INT Offensive Rebounding Drill

This drill works on offensive rebounding intensity and competitiveness. Starting practice with short high intensity drills can set the right tone for the type of practice you want on a particular day. Developing rebounding skill is essentially an emphasis more than a technique. This means that you must emphasize rebounding in all your drills/competitive situations and not just in a specific rebounding drill. But a drill like this one can help set the tone for the intensity required to be a successful rebounding player and team.
